| 21 | +======================================= |
| 22 | +Other issues that you should know about |
| 23 | +======================================= |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +GCC 12.2.0 is discontinued in Spack v1.0.0 |
| 26 | +------------------------------------------ |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +As of Spack v1.0, `spack-packages <https://packages.spack.io/>`_ has |
| 29 | +been split off into its own separate repository. This change includes |
| 30 | +the unfortunate deprecation of the :program:`GNU Compiler Collection |
| 31 | +(GCC)` version 12.2.0. It appears that only the most recent minor |
| 32 | +release in each major release is now treated as stable. These |
| 33 | +deprecations are updated promptly for example, GCC 12.4.0 is already |
| 34 | +marked as deprecated just 10 days after the release of GCC 12.5.0. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Deprecated GCC versions are no longer listed with the :command:`spack |
| 37 | +info` command, so rather than warning users about deprecation, Spack |
| 38 | +simply fails with an unhelpful error message about not being able to |
| 39 | +satisfy the request. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +For the time being, we recommend that you use `Spack release v0.23.1 |
| 42 | +<https://github.com/spack/spack/releases/tag/v0.23.1>`_ which still |
| 43 | +supports GCC 12.2.0 and related libraries. Please see our |
| 44 | +supplemental guide entitled :ref:`spackguide` for an updated Spack |
| 45 | +installation workflow. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +We will likely need to wait until MAPL 2.55 is implemented in GCHP |
| 48 | +before we can build the GCHP library environment with Spack v1.0. |
| 49 | +MAPL 2.55 should be compatible with GCC 14 and later versions, but we |
| 50 | +will need to test this. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Discontinuity in GEOS-FP convection at 01 Jun 2020 |
| 53 | +-------------------------------------------------- |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +The convection scheme used to generate archived GEOS-FP meteorology |
| 56 | +files changed from RAS to Grell-Freitas starting 01 June 2020 with |
| 57 | +impact on vertical transport. Discussion and analysis of the impact is |
| 58 | +available at https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/issues/1409. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +In addition, there is a bug in convective precipitation flux following |
| 61 | +the switch where all values are zero. While this bug is automatically |
| 62 | +fixed by calling different convection schemes in GEOS-Chem, the |
| 63 | +convection scheme called is based only on run start date. This means |
| 64 | +that using meteorology for a year different than simulation year may |
| 65 | +result in choosing the wrong convection scheme. It also means that |
| 66 | +simulations which span 01 June 2020 will incorrectly use the same |
| 67 | +convection scheme for the entire run. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Due to these issues we recommend splitting up GEOS-FP runs in time |
| 70 | +such that a single simulation does not run across 01 June 2020. |
| 71 | +Instead. set one run to stop on 01 June 2020 and then restart a new |
| 72 | +run from there. If you wish to use a GEOS-FP meteorology year |
| 73 | +different from your simulation year please create a GEOS-Chem GitHub |
| 74 | +issue for assistance. |
